gleam

take me to 
the pressure wash
these daily tears 
just aren't enough
to clean the crud 
off my heart

put me thru some 
strong chemicals
and white hot heat
scrub & scrape me
shine & buff me
till I glow

oh.

be careful though
that you don't scratch 
or nick my gleam
wear gloves and use 
a microfiber
chamois cloth

and don't drop me
i might shatter
